My Apple ID was changed

All of a sudden my Apple ID name was changed to and a middle initial of A. I did not do this. Can you tell me when this was done, and the implications of this. I’m very worried. Thank you.

the name

on my Apple ID was changed, not by me. What should do, and what are the implications of this.

Someone may have access to your Apple ID.


You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
